Grip scissors

Abstract

A pair of grip scissors comprises a generally U-shaped spring member integrally made of a resin and a pair of blade members attached to the respective free ends of the spring member. The respective free ends of the spring member are provided with an opposed pair of stoppers bulging toward each other. The respective stoppers come into stopping abutment with each other when the spring member is manually gripped. Each stopper has a mounting side face directed away from the mounting side face of the other stopper, and each blade member has a connecting portion attached laterally to the mounting side face of the corresponding stopper.

I claim: 
     
       1. A pair of grip scissors comprising: a generally U-shaped spring member integrally made of a resin, the spring member having a web portion and an opposed pair of grip portions extending from the web portion, each grip portion having a free end; and   a pair of metallic blade members each having a cutting edge and an inner blade face, said each blade member further having a connecting portion attached to the free end of said each grip portion, the inner blade faces of the respective blade members being held in contact with each other even in a natural state of the spring member;   wherein the free end of said each grip portion has an exterior mounting side face and an opposing exterior non-mounting side face; and   the connecting portion of said each blade member is attached laterally to the exterior mounting side face of said each grip portion with the inner blade face of said each blade member directed toward the exterior non-mounting side face of each said grip portion, and wherein the connecting portion of each blade member is in direct contact with the exterior mounting side face of said each grip portion.   
     
     
       2. The pair of grip scissors according to claim 1, wherein the mounting side face of said each grip portion is provided with a positioning recess shaped to receive snugly the connecting portion of said each blade member. 
     
     
       3. The pair of grip scissors according to claim 2, wherein the positioning recess of said each grip portion has a depth substantially equal to the thickness of the connecting portion of said each blade member 
     
     
       4. The pair of grip scissors according to claim 1, wherein the free end of said each grip portion is integrally formed with a protective extension which covers a back edge of said each blade member. 
     
     
       5. The pair of grip scissors according to claim 1, wherein the free end of said each grip portion is integrally formed with a stopper, the stoppers of the respective grip portions bulging toward each other for coming into mutual stopping abutment. 
     
     
       6. The pair of grip scissors according to claim 5, wherein the stoppers of the respective grip portions bulge to such an extent that the cutting edge of said each blade member is prevented from projecting beyond a back edge of the other blade member when the respective stoppers come into stopping abutment. 
     
     
       7. The pair of grip scissors according to claim 1, wherein the spring member is made of a fiber-reinforced polyamide resin.
